Question

Points P, R, and S, are collinear such that R lies on PS. It is known that the ratio of

PR: RS = 1/3}. Find the location of coordinate R if P is located at (-2,-6) and is
located at (10,30).

Answer 1

1,3

Explanation:

Sorry if my English is bad

or if my answer is wrong but from my understanding,

as you can recognize from the photos, we need to understand what a collinear is. Collinear are points that are lying in the same straight line. Thus, we can transform the ratio to fractions which means 1 : 3 into 1/3

Hence, the coordinate R is 1/3 between P and S.

Therefore, to determine coordinate R, we must use the formula that is provided. P is (X1, Y1), S is (X2,Y2), M1 is 1 or the Numerator and M2 is 3 or The denominator.
